Francis Drake was born in 1543 in a town a few miles from the port of Plymouth, from where he would embark in December 1577 in most secret expedition conducted by the sixteenth-century England. At the hands of his ship, the Golden Hind, made the trip in order to plunder the Spanish colonies in the Pacific Ocean. However, his expedition was remembered for being the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe. After the great achievement became a member of the British Parliament in later years. However, few remnants of the trip have come to the present, as their daily travel and other narratives disappeared after the ban on publication of the details of the expedition because of Queen Elisabeth. The geographers of the time had to manage to map the famous circumnavigation because the data at their disposal were not official.
